Repercussions of resignation for failing to provide employment visa

I have been working for a month in A DMCC company with a tourist visa. They gave me my salary for one month working, but they are stalling in applying for my visa.

I renewed my tourist visa and paid for it during working with them, and they never gave me the visa renewal fees.

I want to resign now. Would I get banned if I left work without a one month notice?

My tourist visa is ending in 20 days now, and this was an unlimited offer letter with 6 month’s probation period.

Would I get banned from the UAE if I quit now without notice?

First, working with visit visa is illegal. If the CID found this out, they will deport you immediately with a ban.

You can resign immediately as if they didn't provide you with a proper employment visa, no offer letter, nothing.

But still, before resignation confirm with them about the visa.

There's the offer letter I signed before I started working that says before I quit I should leave a one-month calendar notice.

They won’t be able to harm me with it since they didn’t provide any employment visa, and they won’t be able to file a complain and ban me from entering the UAE, right?

If it is written in the offer letter, then you need to serve one month notice period.

How would I do that when I only have 20 days left in my visit visa?

They didn’t process an employment visa?

That's why I am saying ask them about the visa and how many days it will take more since you don't have an employment contract.

Maybe it's difficult but still, you can submit a complaint before the ministry of labour.

Just keep in mind your offer letter is binding because both the party duly signed the letter.
